In his remarks at the event, Mr Hirotake Nakanishi, the President of the Japan Logistic Systems Corporation, remarked that the opening of Logitem Da Nang aimed to mark the 25 years since the Japanese group’s operation in Viet Nam.

He said over recent years his group has recorded numerous remarkable achievements in logistics services. He also believed the city’s logistics sector would gain even more success in the future.

President Nakanishi noted that covering an area of nearly 20,000 m², the Logitem Da Nang would be a major logistics hub in the central region, and a transit hub for cargo across Viet Nam.

“The newly-opened centre will help to create more job opportunities for local job seekers and promote the city’s economic development in the coming time” he added.
